This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard: "Anyone,monk or nun, in whom passion is unabandoned (raago appahiino), aversion isunabandoned (doso appahiino), and delusion is unabandoned (moho appahiino), issaid not to have crossed the ocean with its waves, breakers, and whirlpools, itsmonsters and demons. Anyone, monk or nun, in whom passion is abandoned (raagopahiino), aversion is abandoned (doso pahiino), and delusion is abandoned (mohopahiino), is said to have crossed the ocean with its waves, breakers, andwhirlpools, its monsters and demons. Having crossed over, having reached the farshore, he/she stands on high ground, a brahman."

"One whose passion, aversion, and ignorance are washed away,has crossed over this ocean with its sharks, demons,dangerous waves, so hard to cross.

"Free from acquisitions, bonds surmounted, death abandonedhe has abandoned stress with no further becoming.

"Having gone to the goal he is undefined,has outwitted, I tell you, the King of Death."
